A Single Simple Seed

Schleeman followed Homer:  found the citadel of Troy.
Carter held a hunch:  found a king that was a boy.
Orv and WIlber double U:  felt that man could fly.
Patient perseverance:  paid off by and by.
Great wall built by hand:  and still stands on the land.
Monuments to faith:  believing it will be.
Chris put in the effort:  to sail the unknown sea.
If we but take to heart:  these tested true tales told.
Acknowledging the wisdom:  of bygone days of old.
We will come to know:  sow a single simple seed and
If nurtured watered sunned and fed:  beloved food will grow.
